A woman was impaled while driving away from a parking lot after delivering her daughter's saxophone. As she is driving away from the parking lot, she started texting her friend.
Multitasking is tough and can be dangerous. There had been so many accidents related to driving while calling or texting someone. How many times have we been told that no call or text is more important than your life or someone else's life.
One woman from Colorado just proved this theory to be true. She told reporters that she was texting while driving and she didn't see the pole in front of her.
Christina Jahnz said that she was running late for a business meeting that day that's why she decided to sent a voice text. She looked down on her phone to make sure that everything was fine. She looked up, and the next thing she knew, the guardrail pole "went through the front of her truck, through her buttocks and into the back of her seat."
The firefighters needed to saw the front and the end of the pole before they were able to rush her to the hospital.
Jahnz stayed in the hospital and is expecting to make full recovery. She is walking now with the assistance of a walker.
She said that she was not driving more than 20 mph at the time of the accident, and that she only took her eyes off the road for a split second, and she got impaled while driving. She also added that it is devastating to know that the accident could have been prevented if she just paid attention to what she's doing at the time. Jahnz hopes that her story can help others to realize the importance of avoiding texting while driving. One text could mean the difference between life and death.
